    📸 Picture of the Month: A Glimpse into FN Herstal’s Showroom 📸 For this month’s exclusive look, we reveal only the entrance of FN Herstal's legendary showroom. Why? Because this private space is reserved for our employees and select guests, offering a rare, close-up view of the icons that built our reputation. Even the entry alone is worth the visit, with legendary pieces such as the FN® FAL and the FN® BAR machine gun on display—symbols of our innovation and expertise. Who knows, maybe one day, a select few will get the chance to explore it themselves… #FNHerstal #LegendaryArms #FNShowroom #ExclusiveAccess #BehindTheScenes #MilitaryHeritage #FAL #MAG #FNHistory

    Internet, GPS, … Ces technologies ont vu le jour dans le domaine de la défense avant d’entrer dans notre quotidien! 💡   La Défense a toujours été un terreau fertile à la recherche et l'innovation et FN Browning Group et FN Herstal ne dérogent pas à la règle : ✅ 10 à 15% du chiffre d’affaires annuel de notre pôle Défense & Sécurité est investi dans la R&D. ✅ Plus de 200 personnes parmi nos collègues innovent chaque jour, pour offrir à nos partenaires des solutions de pointe pertinentes. Nos domaines de recherche sont nombreux, et parfois éloigné de l'image historique qu'on peut avoir de nos entreprises : électronique, optoélectronique, mécanique, nouveaux matériaux … Voici quelques exemples récents, parmi de nombreux autres : ✅ Les algorithmes des nouvelles stations téléopérées deFNder sont conçus pour la lutte anti-drones ✅ Les télémètres laser de notre filiale Noptel ont une portée de plus de 30 km avec une précision de 0,01 mètre ✅ Le FN Smart ProtectoR® augmente la sécurité de tous et permet d’éviter des blessures graves lors d’opérations de maintien de l’ordre ✅ …Et nous continuons inlassablement à créer de nouvelles solutions : pour des amorces vertes, pour de nouvelles technologies dédiées à l’entrainement collectif, ou encore pour la maintenance prédictive des équipements militaires. Nous sommes convaincus que l’innovation est la clé d’une Europe compétitive et prospère. Plus qu’une mission, la R&D est au cœur de notre ADN !   👉 N’oubliez pas de soutenir FN Browning pour le concours de Manager de l’Année en votant via le lien suivant: https://lnkd.in/eP4Zix2T   #R&D #innovation #defense

Pierre-Yves Jeholet, Vice-President of the Walloon Government and Minister for the Economy : "The competitiveness of European industry is a fundamental challenge for the future of the Union and our countries.

    Did you know? 🧐 FN Herstal Transfer of technology turns 100! In 1923, FN Herstal signed its very first significant Transfer of Technology (ToT) agreement with the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, marking the beginning of over a century of expertise in international partnerships. The agreement, finalised after a series of negotiations, involved the production of 50,000 Mauser rifles and 50 million cartridges, all manufactured at FN’s Herstal factory. In addition to firearms production, the deal included a transfer of technical know-how and the establishment of a state-owned arsenal in Kragujevac, located in what is now Serbia. FN Herstal not only delivered machinery but also provided technical assistance, making this collaboration a cornerstone of their legacy in global technology transfer. 🌍🔧 The contract was valued at 66 million francs at the time, which is roughly equivalent to €66.9 million today (adjusted for inflation) 💶. This project marked the start of FN Herstal’s commitment to building strong, long-lasting partnerships based on shared expertise and trust. 💼 From modest beginnings, FN Herstal has grown into a world leader in firearms manufacturing and technology transfer, continuing to forge international bridges for over 100 years. 📜✨ Photo credit: FONDATION ARS MECHANICA, Armémuseum #DidYouKnow #FNHerstal #TechnologyTransfer #FirearmsInnovation #ToT #Mauser
